Here's some pics for those Graphite owners who are curious about what it can look like with a TJM T13 colour coded bullbar...


Ordered and fitted by Bunderberg TJM...$1900 with free underbody guard.

Hi bdee, did you get the Lowline from Toyota? This is exactly what I want for my 150 GXL but was advised by my local Toyota dealer this wasn't possible. Any info would be appreciated.
Cheers

One more for the masses

not sure I agree completely, how do they not help with winches?
You can fit a winch to a smartbar, there is a winch option available for the Prado.

When it comes to front ground clearance, you really need to check all bars, many will actually make it worse. ARB are a known offender in this area.

I have seen one - not a mark!! They really are a decent bit of gear. I was talking to a few bush coppers at the Harts Range races a week or so back (NT Police) and all their Hilux paddy wagons have smart bars. The general consensus is that they're awesome. To quote one of the cops "they're like shanghai's, the roo's just bounce off". He was saying one of his mates who works up in Arnhem land hit a buffalo not so long ago with one and the Hilux came out much better than expected.

Don't knock 'em till you've tried 'em it would seem...

They are good at stopping roos, but for many of us that us just not enough. Front ground clearance and mounting of winches are a couple of areas where they just don’t help (IMO). I suppose it depends on your needs. If you are staying on the road and doing a lot of outback miles they would be a good product to consider.

I think they would be 100% practical and well...smart, BUT I just dont like the look of them. If I did alot of country driving I would put function ahead of looks for sure but if I didn't NEED one as such I wouldn't have one.

I like to see a photo of the smart bar after hitting a big red kangaroo, just to see what the impact does and whether or not they really are a smart arse bar.
The Roo.

Isn't post 95 what you are asking?


Steve

Errr, yes, yes it is. My bad...

Has anyone got photo's/pictures of the TJM scrub bars that are integrated to the side steps? I have seen the steps, but not the scrub bars.

After nearly 2 years of the 150 being available, I don't understand why ARB still say their side steps are "under development". Surely it doesn't take that long, it seems to me they were put in the too-hard-basket and will probably never come...

Did you take this pic or is this an ARB advertisement? I have asked about sidebars for my 150 and apparently TJM and powerful4x4 are the only ones making them. From one source I have heard that ARB are not even looking at them yet, from the web I have found an ARB editorial which states they are currently being worked on and that was in Autumn 2010.
If it is yours, is it genuine or was the sticker added later?
Thanks
Tim

I have had the ARB sidebars since 2010. What they did not make was sidebars that integrate into sidesteps like what is now available from TJM.

[sako]

ARB are making scrub bars

[KAKADAZ]

The white one I believe is a catalogue car.
